The type of figurative language that is used in the sentence from George Orwell's novel Keep the Aspidistra Flying is a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things in an implied way. In this line, the public is compared to a swine and advertising is compared to the rattling of a stick inside a swill-bucket.
After we had waited for twenty minutes
is the answer ^
I will dissect each sentence for you.
A. Do you think the hummingbirds will come back!
No, this isn't it. It's a question, so it needs to end in a ?.
B. Hummingbirds are kind of interesting!
This might be it, considering the fact that this a direct sentence, but the exclamation point isn't needed.
C. When I see a hummingbird, I get so excited?
No, this isn't a question.
D. I love hummingbirds!
Maybe, since this is more of stating a fact and getting excited about the hummingbird which is nonetheless an animal/object.
Left choices:
B and D.
I'd have to say...
D, since B is kind of just stating something is interesting rather than loving something, however, both are punctuated correctly.
Answer:
D
Answer:
Writers probably stayed away from everyone else and also might have stayed inside. I don't know who exactly it was but people probably didn't create the painting until after the plague. They probably just imagined what the plagues would have been like. Some people survived because they either lived somewhere else or something else like that. Famous People who have died from Bubonic Plague (Yersinia pestis) infection: 429 BC - Pericles - Greek Statesman. 251 - Hostilian (Gaius Valens Hostilianus Messius Quintus) (Roman Emperor 251 AD) (251 AD) 664 - Saint Cedd (Missionary Bishop, Northumbria).
Most of my answers are probably wrong, so sorry if they are
Hope this helps!
Have a nice day!
This is a pretty long poem, and a lot goes on, but Tennyson makes it easier to follow along by breaking the action up into four parts. We'll take you through them quickly, to give you an overview:
Part 1: The poem opens with a description of a field by a river. There's a road running through the field that apparently leads to Camelot, the legendary castle of King Arthur. From the road you can see an island in the middle of the river called the Island of Shalott. On that island there is a little castle, which is the home of the mysterious Lady of Shalott. People pass by the island all the time, on boats and barges and on foot, but they never see the Lady. Occasionally, people working in the fields around the island will hear her singing an eerie song.
Part 2: Now we actually move inside the castle on the island, and Tennyson describes the Lady herself. First we learn that she spends her days weaving a magic web, and that she has been cursed, forbidden to look outside. So instead she watches the world go by in a magic mirror. She sees shadows of the men and women who pass on the road, and she weaves the things she sees into her web. We also learn that she is "half sick" of this life of watching and weaving.
Part 3: Now the big event: One day the studly Sir Lancelot rides by the island, covered in jewels and shining armor. Most of this chunk of the poem is spent describing Lancelot. When his image appears in the mirror, the Lady is so completely captivated that she breaks the rule and looks out her window on the real world. When she does this and catches a glimpse of Lancelot and Camelot, the magic mirror cracks, and she knows she's in trouble.
<span>Part 4: Knowing that it's game over, the Lady finds a boat by the side of the river and writes her name on it. After looking at Camelot for a while she lies down in the boat and lets it slip downstream. She drifts down the river, singing her final song, and dies before she gets to Camelot. The people of Camelot come out to see the body of the Lady and her boat, and are afraid. Lancelot also trots out, decides that she's pretty, and says a little prayer for her.
